I - Lento II - Imposante III - Andante Programme Note In my early television remembrance I recall a broadcast with Samuel Beckett one of the fathers of the absurd play and drama. At one time Beckett looked the viewer (the camera) in the eye and said:'What! - is the Word'. I have not since been able to forget it obviously having borrowed this ambiguous sentence as title for this short cello sonata. The fact that it is conceived as a unity is obvious from the fact that the two outer movements are closely related. The long immediately recognizable melodic line which dominates the first movement appears in the third movement aswell first in an inverted version and then almost identical to its original appearance only shorter. In contrast the middle movement is a fast one constantly and intensely on the move with many changes of pulse and meters as well as large melodic leaps. And while the outer movements each are composed as a single melodic line the middle movement makes extensive use of the cello as a polyphonic instrument employing lots of chords double stops and flageolet effects.

Born in Paris in 1899, Francis Poulenc soon became a notable composer and pianist. His Serenade, originally composed in 1925-1926 for Voice and Piano, met much success as part of his Bawdy Songs. Therefore, it was well-received when Maurice Gendron transcribed it for Cello and Piano. Poulenc, as a member of Les Six, composed music in a style contrary to that of Richard Wagner and impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Serenade reflects the composer's contrasting style, making use of a 6/8 time signature, double stops, variations in articulation and wide range on the Cello. Being an imaginative and evocative composition, Serenade, transcribed for Cello and Piano, is a pleasurable addition to the repertoire.

Lindley, Robert Capriccios et exercices pour le violoncelle op. 15 - Nouveau matériel pédagogique pour violoncellistes avancés - Avec pages dépliantes - Avec des marques de courbure et des doigtés modernes originaux et alternatifs Robert Lindley (1776'1855) a été le premier violoncelliste en Angleterre pendant plus de 50 ans. En 1822, il devint le premier professeur de violoncelle à la Royal Academy of Music de Londres, où il resta jusqu'à sa retraite en 1851. Lindley, un professeur estimé et très recherché, écrivit non seulement l'actuel «Capriccios» mais aussi un violoncelle méthode, plusieurs concertos et musique de chambre dans lesquels le violoncelle occupe une place de choix. Les «Capriccios et exercices» contiennent une multitude de modèles de doigté dans les harmonies majeures et mineures associées, des exercices pour la position du pouce et de nombreux passages de doubles arrêts, le tout dans un cadre mélodieux. L'édition savante de Barenreiter est éditée par Valerie Walden, offrant aux violoncellistes et aux enseignants un nouveau matériel exceptionnel à utiliser dans les leçons.
